If you need something else to make you despair today, the linked reddit thread will make you do it.

Humans are very susceptible to the ELIZA effect (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA_e...) and if you tell them they're deluding themselves, they get upset.

I cried twice before 6am, I’m not sure I need the added despair - but I’m also a glutton for punishment so…

I woke up 20 minutes ago and now I want to sleep until 10 AM tomorrow

Lot of jokey response on Reddit along the lines of "Haha bold of you to assume that I can form human connections". Actually something really telling there.

Please tell me this isn’t foreshadowing to an Eliza Hellbound plot twist.

Can’t believe OP was blaspheming the machine spirits like that.

That thread is an excellent test for how far I've come in being less online. Clicked in, upvoted a couple of double entendre jokes, closed the tab.
